Must win game - 5 defenders, a DM, centre midfielder and 3 wingers. Old Bobby

They're badly missing a Lukaku. Never been a great fan of Witsel and playing Dendoncker as a centerback is shoehorning at its best. 

I don't see Belgium winning this game if Croatia are having just an average game.

What’s completely brain dead about this situation is the fact there’s two better CB’s on the bench. And that’s not being bias, that’s genuine truth. So what Martinez is doing is beyond me. Either the bloke is thick as ****, or he’s sabotaging Belgiums efforts to win a major tournament……

[HybridFox]

I've just seen the Belgium starting XI and burst out laughing

 

How can he get away with that 

[StanSP]

I bet some of these Belgians, for which this tournament won't be their last, can't wait for Martinez to be sacked. They're being held back so much.

Let’s face it Southgate isn’t this bad

Seeing those Kramaric stats make me sad. He’s such a good player.

Yes, but I don’t think he suited us at the time. Just didn’t work out 

[Pliskin]

Belgium have lacked any kind of aggression and passion at all. If anything at all Wout gives you that in abundance. I kind of hope they get stuffed tonight, just to prove that Martinez is an absolute clown. 

[foxy boxing]

Croatia starting on the front foot, great start to the game.

[Finnegan]

Holy shit Martinez has found some attackers. 

[Koke]

Canadian keeper with a howler 

[trabuch]

No left foot

[foxes_rule1978]

Lol penalty 

[foxes_rule1978]

How stupid to do that  

[The Bear]

Another soft penalty. A tiny bit of contact that didn't make him fall over like he did.

Contact is certainly made, it is clumsy from the defender… but maybe offside 

[trabuch]

Carasco has been a good addition...

[Pliskin]

Has Kramaric interfered with play? 

[foxes_rule1978]

Offside lucky lucky 

[Lcfc82]

VAR is an absolute shambles 

[hejammy]

what the hell is going on?

[Guest Col city fan]

VAR really is shockingly shite

[Corky]

It's making me agree with Jenas 

[Finnegan]

Jenas is being thick. 

 

He's being asked to judge whether or not the player that blatantly was offside is interfering with play which is a subjective decision that the ref has to make. 

 

It's not about the player being in line or not. He's obviously offside. It's about whether he interfered. Surely that's obvious, why all the manufactured outrage about VAR again?
